this is my new beauty has some issues hoping its not head gasket. Its leaking coolant and didn't pass emissions, needs sensors. Its been awhile since I have been on here but proud to be back. Missing my 98 but this one is identical to my first aurora. Done with the Cadillac eldorados lol.

Nice Welcome!

[97 & 99 autobahn]

Hey Bossdonsin,Welcome back, nice Aurora it looks just like the one I just purchased in Colorado for $1675, Previous owner had over heat issues, @ 66K ! lost coolant,a/c was going out, etc. hauled it to my nephews house in Co. before going back to Vegas. Of course we had to pull into his barn & look it over. I'm very happy to say that after placing it on lift ( his new HFT toy )we started finding the problem(s) coolant loss was pin hole @ plastic tanks on radiator (both sides almost same location,around oil cooler fittings ) new rad solved problem #1, problem # 2 A/C was low on charge (high pressure line had laid against block and rubbed hole in line & fan relay screwed up)new line,Evac/recharge,changed out fan relays even though recharge solved fan(s) not kicking on. This fast ass car purred like a wild cat all the way to vegas. my buddy who hauled carrier over to colorado to pick it up said " you were a white blurr on horizon ! ) begged me when we stopped for fuel to switch vehicles we did & he did not want to un-ass my car !! I'm just glad it was not like my 97 Aurora ( diff. HEAD GASKETS ) still need to fix it this fall ! so,check the car over & maybe ( I'm praying for you ) it's the same problems, I am dreading yanking heads off of my 97 lone enough two cars. If you need head studs google CARROLL CUSTOM CADILLAC $336.00 for studs/2-day shipping included & made in & sold in AMERICA (Texas instead of canada EH?) much better Well again welcome back & good luck !!

well im trying to get rid of my 95 Eldorado (second one) first had immaculate hard top body but 280k on the engine with a major leak. Only replaced alternator on that one. This one has only 118k and so far replaced brakes, solenoid B, sway bar links, bushings. It needs shocks and compressor and they are hard to find anywhere. Expensive even online. It had a modified sunroof which was from a 89-96 thunderbird which became a major issue so I replaced it with a 92 carriage top to get rid of the hole in the roof. Its a major turn off for buyers as the interior is a mess when you look up. So far with the 99 autobahn which will be looked at by my mechanic this week...the sounds im hearing is either the flex pipe or cat. It also sounds like a pulley or belt problem whining and there is a coolant loss and the ac doesn't work as well. I remember with the 98 I had to get the water pump and rad done. Im just hoping its not the head gaskets as ill have problems affording and finding a mechanic willing to do the work up here. I did notice 2500 rpm and not much upshift from 2nd in a small parking lot near the garage. Wondering if this is a sign of even bigger problems? Im hoping its minor details. Only spend 500 on the car and it had it towed its got 174k on it...id love to save this baby...its identical to my first aurora. Im running p0440 (sensor in the manifold) p0135. Above noises is what I hear so far. Its not overheating. Thanks for the warm welcomes guys.

the plan is to put the $ into the aurora. No brainer
